CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray muffin cups or brownie pan with cooking spray.
• Mix milk, cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Scrape the insides from each vanilla bean half into the milk mixture. Stir milk mixture until smooth and light yellow in color. Carefully stir croissant pieces into milk mixture until all pieces are wet; let soak for at least 10 minutes.
• Fold chocolate chips into croissant mixture. Spoon croissant mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool pudding for 30 minutes to 1 hour; transfer to a plate and sift powdered sugar over each.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Add the croissant cubes and mix together until the croissants are fully coated in the cream mixture. Let it sit for 25-30 minutes, stirring about 15 minutes in.
• Once the croissants have soaked pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the custard, is set and the croissants are starting to brown. While the bread pudding is baking prepare the vanilla sauce.
• In a medium saucepan combine the butter, sugar, and cream. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
• Allow the bread pudding to sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve with warm vanilla sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Set the custard mixture aside. Slice the croissants in half horizontally. In a 10 x 15 x 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the bottoms of the sliced croissants, then add the raisins, then the tops of the croissants (brown side up), being sure the raisins are between the layers of croissants or they will burn while baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Place the pan in a larger one filled with an inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Pour the milk into a bowl.
• If the croissants are still soft use 4 cups, but if they are quite dry use 5.
• Beat in the rum, vanilla, the eggs and all but 6 tablespoons of the remaining sugar, and the salt.
• Make a layer of croissants in the bottom of the pan, tearing them as necessary to to make them fit.
• Sprinkle the layer with 1/3 of the peaches.
• Pour 1/4 of the milk mixture.
• Let the croissants soak up a bit of the mixture before continuing.
• Repeat twice, pushing the layers down as you go, and ending with a layer of croissants.
• Sprinkle the remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar over the top layer (I like to use Turbinado Sugar).
• Dot it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-60 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven.
• Set the temperature of the oven at 320ºF
• Tear up the croissants.
• Roughly tear the croissants into pieces, put them in a bowl and add the raisins.
• Make the custard.
• Start with the vanilla bean. Make an incision down the center, scrape the pulp out onto the bean and put it in a saucepan.
• Next add the cream and milk and heat over a medium temperature. When the custard starts to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Put the eggs and egg yolks in a bowl, add the sugar and begin whisking. Mix in a little hot milk, pour it all back into the saucepan and mix thoroughly.
• Using a sieve, strain the custard over the croissants and raisins. Make sure they are entirely submerged in the custard. Leave the croissants to soak like this for 15 minutes.
• Carefully pour the mixture into a buttered baking tin and spread it out to ensure that the raisins are evenly distributed.
• Place the tin in the center of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
• To check that the pudding is done, insert a knife into the center. If when removing it is slightly wet then the pudding is ready as the centre should remain moist. Remove it from the oven and leave to cool down.
